Fair point. Just to be clear: I am NOT a developer, so I may be very wrong on that take.

But from what I understand, the difference from what snaps does to what traditional packages does is that the Canonical repos are hard coded in it, thus making it harder to decentralise, and that's not very in line with what many wish for a FOSS ecosystem.

I'm mentioning the "proprietary backend" drama around snaps. Not that I care too much, anyway. I use lots of proprietary software daily

something something snap package

It actually does, LOL!

I think one of the reasons why I can do gaming exclusively on Linux is because I hardly play competitive games, so I didnt miss Valorant, League of Legends, Apex and the like. But it's still a reeeeal shame that these games insists on blocking Linux tho.

Completely valid take. I think that most Linux gamers dual boot (at least inside my circle of friends) (but no me tho, I'm Linux exclusive!) I think that when people doscuss Linix vs Windows, they often forget that you dont necessarily need to get rid of one system in favor of the other, you can simply integrate Linux into your workflow.

But isnt this like asking "Show me how to run Nintendo Services on the PS5 and I will switch"?

Windows has it's own ecosystem just as much as Linux has it's own ecosystem, so expecting Linux to run everything Microsoft is kinda of unreasonable IMO.

To switch an OS also means to switch an ecosystem. You wouldn't move from Android to iOS expecting it to run Android's .apk, right?

I'm not criticizing you tho, if a service you rely on doesnt work on Linux, then Linux isnt for you, and you're free to use Windows, an OS is just a tool after all 😁

Cat Bird is a very simple indie platformer that's for free on the play store that ai kinda love alot. If you don't mind doing some set up, emulation makes you phone a pretty solid portable console. On the ports side of things, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are pretty good games

If you enjoyed Mint, what about moving to LMDE?

In my case I didn't have much luck with support for newer hardware, sadly. And as much as I love Mint I have to agree that no OS beats Windows 7 UX up to this date. But I even then, I personally don't feel much safe using it nowadays because of security vulnerabilities (since it's EOL), I had issues with ransomware on Win 10 so God knows what I would infect myself with on win 7 😁

I personally see Linux Mint exactly as a Windows 7 but with modern support (there is even a cool Aero theme for it) :P
